SONGS

The last time I did this song at a roundtable we made the Chicken (Turkey) Calls for the Bok, Bok, Boks. See Pack and Den activities for instructions CD

A Chicken farmer went out one dark and dreary day.
He rested by the coop as he went along his way.
When all at once a rotten egg hit him in the eye.
It was the sight he dreaded: Ghost Chickens in the Sky!

Chorus:

Bok, Bok, Bok, Bok.
Bok, Bok, Bok, Bok.
Ghost Chickens in the Sky!

The Farmer had raised chickens since he was 24,
Workin’ for the Colonel for 30 years or more,
Killing all those chickens and sending them to fry.
Now they want revenge….Ghost Chickens in the sky

Chorus

Their feet were black and shiny. Their eyes were burning red.
They had no meat or feathers. These chickens all were dead.
They picked the farmer up and he died by the claw.
They cooked him extra crispy, and ate him with cole slaw.

Make sure you have the Cubs make the Junior Birdman masks with their hands. CD

I Love the MountainsSam Houston Area Council5 -part round

I love the mountains, I love the rolling hillsI love the flowers, I love the daffodils
I love the fireside,When all the lights are low
Boom de adda, boom de addaBoom de adda, boom de adda
Boom de adda, boom de addaBoom de adda, boom de adda

Bird WatcherHeart of America CouncilTune: Popcorn Popping

I looked out my window and what did I see?A woodpecker pecking on my elm tree.
I turned my head and, right before my eyes,
A blue jay and a robin went flying by .

I could go anywhere and look aroundBirds fly’n everywhere or hop ’n on the groundI guess it’s really true and it will always beBirds flying everyday for you to see!

Binoculars in our handsSpying out the land,
In the air and in the treesBird watching is so grand.

Two Little DucksSam Houston Area Council

Two little ducks that I once knewFat one skinny one, two by two,
But the one little duckWith a feather on his back
Rule the others with aQuack, Quack, Quack.

Down by the river, they would gowiggle, waggle, wiggle, waggle to and fro.And the one little duck With a feather on his back
He ruled the others with aQuack, Quack, Quack.

There Was An Old WomanSam Houston Area Council

There was an old woman
Who swallowed a fly.
I don’t know why
she swallowed that fly.
Perhaps she’ll die.

There was an old woman
Who swallowed a spider,
Who wriggled and jiggled and tickled inside her.
She swallowed the spider
to catch the fly.
I don’t know why
She swallowed that fly.
Perhaps she’ll die.

There was an old woman
Who swallowed a bird.
How absurd! to swallow a bird.
She swallowed the bird
To catch the spider
Who wriggled and jiggled and tickled
Inside her. She swallowed the spider
To catch the fly. I don’t know why
She swallowed that fly. Perhaps she’ll die.

There was an old woman who swallowed a cat.
Imagine that! to swallow a cat
She swallowed the cat to catch the bird.
She swallowed the bird to catch the spider
Who wriggled and jiggled and tickled inside her.
She swallowed the spider to catch the fly.
I don’t know why she swallowed that fly.
Perhaps she’ll die.

5. dog...What a hog!

6. goat...Just opened her throat

7. cow...I don’t know how

8. horse...She’s dead of course

(that ends the song)
